Torque setting for locking wheel nut

Guys
I know that it's 140Nm for the regular nuts. Does anyone know what the setting is for the locking wheel nut itself? I remember someone saying it shouldn't be tightened to the same torque as the rest to avoid snapping
Thanks

I use the same torque setting for the lock bolt; no problems.
